but I am very surprised that this is not spelled out clearly in the
documentation:
I order to relink you have to give the clips TAPE NAMES (even though
this is file based media!) Surprised that the relink routine doesn't
use "source path" to find the media.
Also: The original AMA bins HAVE TO BE OPEN for the relink to work.
Thanks for the suggestions
